We fully vet our registered Charolais using DNA technology. We want our buyers to have all the information they can when they purchase from Merrilee's Charolais. Our registered offerings are 100K DNA CHIPPED, PARENT VERIFIED AND TESTED FOR POLLING (where needed). Our base herd has been tested free of BPA and all profiles are on file with the AICA.


Redford is a new purchase from Double S Charolais. His sire has great carcass EPDs, and we expect the same from him. He will be used on our registered Charolais dams and a few other breeds for some stout F1s. He has been DNA profiled, sire verified, N/N normal for BPA, and HET polled.

We have learned that this particular cross has had the following trend in weights so far for us:
Birthweights - Normal, as expected.
Weaning weights - Normal, as expected.
THEN, not much growth between WEANING and YEARLING. Followed by abundant growth between YEARLING and 18 MOs PRE-BREEDING.
Though we were a tad puzzled at first, patience paid off. These ladies are a great group!
